Cinema Strange

"The California-based Cinema Strange Project made headlines around the world when they completed a 1/20th scale model of Big Ben using toothpicks, fly legs, and fingernail clippings. The unpredictable ensemble commented, "We've played music in Europe a bunch of times, we've made films about zombies and dancing military men, and we made our last album like a story book. The Big Ben model was a logical next step."

The band is infamous in the North American gothic scene for their unique and theatrical stage shows, sometimes involving up to a dozen or more actors and performance artists. Their music, while originating humbly in 1994 as a high-tempo post-punk expression, has evolved into a bizarre and exciting species of musical storytelling, breaking new ground and taking over where bands like the Virgin Prunes left off.

After two self-released records and two albums with the German label, Trisol, they have left an unidentifiable but very real mark on the world gothic scene, and it's anyone's guess what they'll do, or where they'll be, or who they'll claim to be next."

Cinematic Abortion

When a movie premise is thought of with sincerity and ambition, then ego and money come in, take a wire hanger, and scrape out an underdeveloped movie fetus and present it to the world with no shame.
Cynthia: Have you seen that new M. Night Shyamalan movie?

Debbie: Ugh yeah. It was a total cinematic abortion.

Cynthia: Yeah. My uterus hurt the entire time.
